Did Greater Manchester exist in '73, or was it all still Lancashire then ? I agree with your arguement to some degree Carmen, but I think any concentration of youths where a fairly high percentage were using drugs would attrract Police attention back then

Am I wrong in thinking that Wigan Council actually ended upbuying the Casnio through a CPO, and leasing it back to Gerry Marshall ? Possibly that may have had an influence on why the Council never shut it down

Spot on Nige. I think Pep ran two niters and that was it, just before Sam took over

I'm not surprised if you don'tr bother replying to PMs offering you copies

Will you be wearing your vest and baggies to present the show Chris ? Especially the 'I Went To Wigan' badegs

Sorry, not correct. It was never in the Allnighter Guide

The delay in packages was to be expected as soon as they found that bomb on the cargo plane, it meant delays to all mail that wasn't a simple letter. Couple that with the bad weather and the huge increase in volume of mail at this time of year ! It will be weeks before it all gets sorted. One of the delivery companies was on tv last night saying all their warehouse space was full, so they were storing packages in the lorries, which meant they couldn't deliver anything because they didn't have any spare lorries !! Boba, your package which the Royal Mail says is in the US, this means the RM have delivered it to the depot that will transport it overseas. As far as they are concerned it is now 'out of the UK'. It's probably still sitting in a warehouse somewhere over here though.

Thinking about it Ady, you have probably performed on that stage more often than anyone else. (and you've DJed there as well occasionally )

Following a statement like that, the obvious response is give us the benefit of your knowledge.

I think it's great, and play it in my sets regularly. There was a cheap copy on a list last week.

search for Carolina Beach Music in google, you get lot's of hits that give the history etc

No number but you could try sending him a PM, he's on the site as Geoff Whitfield surprisingly enough

I'm sure someone was advertising an issue 5 on here recently, but I must admit I thought there were only 4

Ace Records have this page on their site Ace Records

Saw Angie Lawrence at Gloucester allnighter a week ago

I had to reformat my drive earlier this week, one consequence of which is I lost all my Firefox bookmarks, so if anyone would be kind enough to list any sites they have in their bookmarks it would save me an awful lot of time trying to remember what I used tyo have thanks

That's a really good show, watch it if you get chance

Seeing Margie chatting away to Chuck Jackson at the 2009 October Prestatyn. He'd always been her favourite singer, and thanks to John Poole, she got to meet him on the Thursday night, and he spoke to her and waved whilst doing his show on the Saturday (She was right at the front ) Sadly, as many of you know, she passed away the following January, but that twenty minutes when she was just sitting chatting to Chuck Jackson made her year, and I was so pleased to see her so excited, like a young teenager really. Looking back, that was my magic moment, being able to arrange that for her.

Cheaper HERE £132.34 including postage from the States and Customs duty. The only thing I'm not sure about is can you run these from the mains with a power adapter, or are they battery only ?

Actually none of the models shown on the web page are directly available from Panasonic
